Constitutional change could face fight in Senate after national assembly approves measure by 493 votes to 30
France’s lower house of parliament has overwhelmingly approved a measure to inscribe abortion as a “guaranteed freedom” in the constitution, a pledge made by the president, Emmanuel Macron, last year.
But the controversial plan now goes to the upper-house Senate, where it faces resistance from the conservative Republicans and the far-right National Rally.
The measure passed the national assembly late on Tuesday by a vote of 493 to 30, with almost all members of Macron’s centrist minority coalition as well as leftwing opposition parties approving.
I mean, if someone would abort a baby just because it’s a girl, they are probably better off not having a baby anyways. I don’t get why you think making people have babies when they don’t want them to the point of deliberately ending the pregnancy is a good idea, no matter the reason for wanting to abort.
